                          career, Congressman Tim Murphy has focused on working 
                          hard to make a difference in the lives of families and 
                          children. 
                          Having worked through college and graduate school, Congressman 
                          Tim Murphy earned a PhD in psychology from the University 
                          of Pittsburgh and served on the staff at several medical 
                          centers, including Children&#8217;s Hospital of Pittsburgh. 
                          Later he opened his own practice serving children and 
                          families in Western Pennsylvania. </p>
                        <p><a href="BCTM0602.wmv" target="_blank"><img src="images/Youknowme_001.JPG" width="174" height="174" border="0" align="left"></a>He now holds two Adjunct Associate Professor positions 
                          at the University of Pittsburgh (Pediatrics, and Public 
                          Health) and authored several articles including the 
                          award-winning book, &#8220;The Angry Child,&#8221; a 
                          book to help parents work with problem children. He 
                          also became widely known as &#8220;Doctor Tim&#8221; 
                          from his many appearances on local and national radio 
                          and television.</p>
                        <p>In 1996 Tim Murphy was elected to the Pennsylvania 
                          State Senate. He served in the Senate until 2002. In 
                          the Senate he wrote Pennsylvania&#8217;s Patient Bill 
                          of Rights and promoted job creation, educational improvements, 
                          fiscal restraint, and the reduction of the tax burden 
                          on families. </p>
                        <p>In 2002 Tim Murphy was elected to the United States 
                          Congress where he now serves on the Energy and Commerce 
                          Committee, one of the most powerful committees in the 
                          House. He was also elected by his colleagues in 2004 
                          to serve as President of his House colleagues elected 
                          in the 108th Congress. </p>
                        <p>As one of the few healthcare providers on Congress, 
                          Tim is a leader on healthcare issues. Building on his 
                          state Senate work, he helped Pennsylvania&#8217;s PACE 
                          program provide seamless coverage with the recent Medicare 
                          Prescription Drug Act Pennsylvania&#8217;s elderly will 
                          save an additional $150 million in prescription drug 
                          costs. He is Co-chair of both the Congressional 21st 
                          Century Healthcare Caucus and the Congressional Mental 
                          Health Caucus. </p>
                        <p>Tim has worked to bring business and community leaders 
                          together to promote new jobs and economic growth for 
                          Western Pennsylvania. He has worked, just like he did 
                          in the Senate, to lower the tax burden on families and 
                          promote sound fiscal management all while our nation 
                          faces the challenges of terrorism. And he has been a 
                          consistent fighter to improve veterans benefits.</p>
                        <p>Congressman Murphy is a member of the Rotary Club and 
                          several Chambers of Commerce. He is active with Habitat 
                          for Humanity and is an advocate for the Rails to Trails
